New Zealand demolish Australia 49-28 in Melbourne. Australia improving but still lacking ability to put it on the park for 80 mnutes, and perhaps lacking a leader of the calibre of the great Stirling Mortlock. For NZ, another good result after woeful 2009 series. Israel Dagg unable to match last week’s dazzling individual score, but Piri Weepu looking better and better with each game and should probably be first choice No.9 in place of Cowan. Tony Woodcock immense. Both NZ hookers with minor niggles meaning Aled de Malmanche may finally get to take the stage in 2010.

Thoughts?
